1.5T RV6 Review

bdsport · Apr 24, 2019

Hi guys, just wanted to post a review here on some of RV6 Performance's products as I don't see too many people running them. I have both the 3 inch Catted down pipe and front pipe from these guys and holy crap, the build quality is amazing! Everything fit exactly how I expected and the ceramic coating looks incredible. The noise is awesome and I don't even have a catback exhaust, even with a catted downpipe low end grumble and throatiness is there but not in your face. The performance gains on just a stock tune are pretty substantial as well. I am running Ktuner and this just helps me really get the exhaust out quicker and in more volume. The downpipe has been on for 6 months so far and the coating is holding up immaculately. Seriously guys, check them out if exhaust is something you want to modify! I can post some pictures upon request for before and after installs

ALSO: they have one of the greatest customer service departments ever, they sent me extra goodies like license plate frames and lanyards and even an extending magnet! They always answre all my questions with kindness and courtesy and very timely as well. These guys rule. I also asked for a special request on the invoice and boy did the deliver

Sometimes it’s good to ask what someone has before assuming as lots of different people have different setups, different gas qualities, etc etc....

From your experience, you threw a code as stated above and as I stated, I have yet to throw a code and I’m running a full turbo back & catless.

Back to the thread.... OP congrats on your purchase.

I ran only catless dp at the time too with no other parts. Also got their fp for free since I was the first to get it and test for them. But yeah all in all RV6 is great but if your running catless and don't have a tuner device like Ktuner then you will throw a code. No one has gotten away with it yet and wouldn't push your luck either but hey they gave you a defouler for a reason and at a certain again maybe just maybe you can get by not that a code would change the way your car drives.

Any CEL go off at any point.?
Also noted some popping in the exhaust, have you noted that

Very interesting! No issues with your RV6 front-pipe coming into contact with any parts of your car? I ask because you have the CVT from what I can see. I had problems 2x with my PRL front pipe contacting my intermediate pipe. I'm currently running a stock front pipe setup.

I have the RV6 combo and got my first CEL the other day after over 2000 miles. I just went in and disabled it in hondata. Great bang for your buck.

Only a bit during installation, had to bend the heatshield to get it in place but after that noting is contacting. I bent the shield back to its original position. PS you're the best Myx! You've done so much for the civic community and glad to see you staying active!

Yes within about 200 miles but I already had a KTuner base map on before the install so I went in and disabled it after flashing to dual mode tune. Popping wise not really, since I have a Greddy supreme catback on it's pretty much a tuner 4cyl sound with pops during rev blipping

I can contest to this lol. Except I bought the catless ... now im straight piped, and want to commit suicide when I drive at 70...... WILL BE BUYING NEW EXHAUST .... AGAIN.... so many mistakes made lol... wish I would have just waited before selling my nice invida exhaust for some custom crap sounding straight pipe. Lol! anyways, RV6 FTW
